Since 1970, 73% of global wildlife has been lost, while the world’s population has doubled to 8 billion. Research shows this isn’t a coincidence but that population growth is causing a catastrophic decline in biodiversity.



Summary

Since 1970, the planet has witnessed a devastating 73% decline in global wildlife, coinciding with a doubling of the human population to 8 billion. Research strongly suggests a direct link: escalating human population growth fuels this catastrophic biodiversity loss. More people require more resources, leading to habitat destruction, overexploitation, pollution, and climate change, all of which severely threaten countless species and disrupt vital ecosystems. This underscores the urgent need to address population growth and its environmental impact to protect the planet’s biodiversity.
